Sanskrit Text

आकाशं तु वनाभ्याशे मन्यन्ते गुणवत्तरम् बहुभिर्गुणजातैस्तु ये युद्धकुशला जनाः

English Translation

While attacking enemies resistance may be offered from within it. In pitching the camp, a region lying near the forest is regarded as much better than one under the open sky by men who are masters of military science and warfare. The camp should be pitched for the troops not far from such a forest.
